If I didn't narrow my scope by ignoring what I knew was not what I was looking for, I'd be in the parking lot much, much longer...searching...maybe getting hot and frustrated...then thirsty and hungry, and eventually collapsing and being picked at by vultures

So, sure; like squinting.

sorry,to look for something we apply a mask.the eye holes are shaped to enhance the recognition of what we seek,and the expression on the mask elicits a response from the world of the type we are seeking.

Yeah, are minds certainly tricky, ready to delude us at our desire. That is why in order to really see things as they are, we need to get rid of the desire, the attachment, the duality. So instead of "WANTING to find MY RED CAR" we are just in the parking lot. And then if we don't find the car, it's no big deal anyway. Although from my experiences and real-life application of this point of view (which is difficult to maintain, without years and years of practice) the red car is found much quicker than if I had allowed my mind to do the filter search. Besides, in the end aren't "I" and the "red car" (and the parking lot and all the other cars and lights and mind masks) all the same?
